'''Amedeo Clemente Modigliani''' ({{IPAc-en|US|ˌ|m|oʊ|d|iː|l|ˈ|j|ɑː|n|i}}; {{IPA|it|ameˈdɛːo modiʎˈʎaːni|lang}}; 12 July 1884 – 24 January 1920) was an Italian painter and sculptor of the [[École de Paris]] who worked mainly in France. He is known for portraits and nudes in a [[modern art|modern]] style characterized by a surreal elongation of faces, necks, and figures — works that were not received well during his lifetime, but later became much sought-after. Modigliani spent his youth in Italy, where he studied the art of [[Classical antiquity|antiquity]] and the [[Renaissance]]. In 1906, he moved to Paris, where he came into contact with such artists as [[Pablo Picasso]] and [[Constantin Brâncuși]]. By 1912, Modigliani was exhibiting highly stylized sculptures with Cubists of the [[Section d'Or]] group at the [[Salon d'Automne]].

Modigliani's oeuvre includes paintings and drawings. From 1909 to 1914, he devoted himself mainly to sculpture. His main subjects were portraits and full figures, both in the images and in the sculptures. Modigliani had little success while alive but after his death achieved great popularity. He died of [[tubercular meningitis]], at the age of 35, in Paris.
